Hello all.

I've tried to format my desktop.So basically my HDD have 2 partitions which are C & D. Partition D contain my personal files which is i forgot to backup. But when i try to install window 10 i format my C partition but i cant continue to window installation since partition D is not delete yet but i want to backup my D partition because my personal files is very important. So is there any solution either i can install window 10 without delete my partition D or any solution i can backup my partition D into external hard disk.

Thanks

Yes, use a live Linux USB stick and copy your files to an external hard drive.

Physically pull the second data drive, and your windows installation will continue as normal. Once done, shutdown the computer and reconnect the data drive.
